I have a service that will monitor location changes daily. What I know so far that to start a service at boot, I have to follow the linked tutorial. This way I can get the service started at boot, but to save battery I need it only between 9am-9pm. Question is pretty simple, so I will repeat: How can I ensure a service is started at 9a...
